In fairness Marian, someone blamed me for the lack of posters and no new new members, so after a month away, I see no new posters and the same posters with the same attitude.

Even having a go at baiting me even though I was not posting, so started calling crummy me, along with the usual kok comments, that apart from 3 everybody else us bored with and none other than those 3 find it funny.

Sadly it will not move on whilst that continues and the proof us in the number of posters. It is a valid point that should be discussed, yet he is attacked.
Perhaps those that attack care to answer his question or us the attack the real answer to why,

As for regular posters, and I mean regular perhaps just 5 or 6 posts a week is it as many as 6 even.

Dr Doolittle has approached it incorrectly but makes a valid point that if the forum is to move on needs to be addressed, unless the forum is just meant to be for the handful of regulars it has.

If an outsider looked in in the last month would they be encouraged to join by reading the vitriol of members against another (despite one calling it banter but the other is certainly not banter.

What strategy does the owner have to gain or encourage new membership.
Are general forums now outdated unless it has a particular purpose, like tradesmen or mumsnet or conspiracies.

Just trying to discuss the point raised.

Wake up George. They are new members of the forum that have joined during your ( welcome ) absence.


Even having a go at baiting me even though I was not posting, so started calling crummy me, along with the usual kok comments, that apart from 3 everybody else us bored with and none other than those 3 find it funny.
.....

Well , I know you're not referring to me , but you came back after a month, and as per usual, dragged up a post , on an old thread - just to cause mischief ..nothing new there .


Sadly it will not move on whilst that continues and the proof us in the number of posters. It is a valid point that should be discussed, yet he is attacked.

...

He wasn't attacked... his negativity was pointed out to him.



As for regular posters, and I mean regular perhaps just 5 or 6 posts a week is it as many as 6 even.
....


The regular posters , post more than 6 posts a day .

I don't know where Annabel and Peter post these days but they seem to be on FB a lot. Anyone can login here with their existing FB account - it took me ages to set up.
I think Colleen is still here and as for Bb, the less said the better, although I suspect he has sneaked back again. He is obsessed by this place.

I posed some questions to try and he helpful.

Marian took time to answer.

Graham knights response was not to read it correctly, as usual, and his response perhaps sums up why there are perceived failings and a lack of other posters.

If the forum is outdated ... why not disappear again ???

I asked if they were.

I disappeared, what changed, nothing, still kok,kok,kok, still Bernie insulting those with a different view.

HoseB tried to keep the forum respectable, but was hounded off by those whom showed no respect or care for the forum or its rules.

Again I have tried to raise questions to help a discussion that may help move the forum forward, that is what needs answering as opposed to the usual responses from the usual subjects.

Ask yourself the question, Will those who post little be thinking about posting more if the replies to Dr dolittle are anything to go by.

For Marian and GK.

I defined a regular poster as someone who posts 5 or 6 a week, not as GK read it in had s response italics below:

The regular posters , post more than 6 posts a day .

Regular users is different to regular posters.

So how many posters are there that regularly post at least 6 times a week, I make it about 7.

For all.
More are needed, so what has to happen to get more.
